Read number of output pulses from "CO Pulse Freq" Task?

I am writing code for a 6602 that produces PWM signals using the CO Pulse Output function.

I would like to set this running continuously, but poll it every so often to see how many pulses have been output.

Can I do this without using one of the unused counters to measure it? Is there a property of the task/channel that gives me the number of pulses?

Thanks!
